Grominows came about from a small prototype I started a few months ago involving falling dominoes chasing the player.

Starting from scratch, I made this version in which little trees pop-up. Over time, if too many are grown, they begin to fall. The player, represented as a growing sphere automatically moves and is steered. If the player collects all the seeds, the goal will open allowing them to complete the game.

Left arrow, A, or Left Mouse Button rotate the growing sphere left.
Right arrow, D, or Right Mouse Button rotate the growing sphere right.

Nice action puzzler! Turning with left/right can be hard sometimes, especially when it got fast. I do like the Tron mechanic though. Might be interesting if you had to wait for the path to fall in order to cross it (might be hard to time this though).

Cute game. I like the sound effects and the mechanic. Making the player something with a front would help with steering.

The domino idea is very cool. You should've entered into the innovative category! The little screen that shows the first dominoes falling also really helps. Are you meant to be able to go to the next level if you fail however?

Interesting game. Some levels were really challenging.

Interesting 3d tron. The domino effect basically just runs down to being a timer, so some variable cause would have been nice (or maybe I understood it incorrectly..)

Interesting game, liked the sounds, but looks like you can always go to the next level, no matter if you actually pass or don't pass the stage, lol ;)

Clever idea. Just dont like that part of the screen gets pushed away when it starts to tip over
